Gluten Free Rum and Spice Apple Tart

This is a fantastic, easy cake made with apple sauce and spices. The apples on top are beautiful and add a bit of flavor and texture, but if you’re pressed for time, you can just add the brown sugar topping mixed with 1/4 tsp cinnamon. I’ve served this for brunch and brought it to friends as a dessert. It’s a small thin cake, but the recipe is easily doubled. I use Bob’s Red Mill White Rice Flour for a nice light texture.
